i recently reinstalled my windows xp pro, and now for some reason when i try shutting down the computer just restarts so theres no way i can shutdown except by either booting into one of my other OS'es or just press the on button twice (which shuts off my computer). anyone ever heard of this kinda problem and is there a way to fix it??

OK, first make sure FasShutdown is disabled:Change the FastReboot data value from 1 to 0 in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ShutdownIf you still have further problems go here .
